Charge, Field, and Potential Coulomb's Law and Field and Potential of Point Charges Fields and Potentials of Other Charge Distributions Gauss's Law and Electrostatics with Conductors Capacitors Dielectrics Current, Resistance, Power Steady-State Direct Current Circuits Capacitors in Circuits Forces on Moving Charges in Magnetic Fields Wire Fields; Biot-Savart and Ampere's Law Electromagnetic Induction Inductance and Maxwell's Equations Demonstrations Each of the demonstrations includes a picture, description, suggestion of use, equipment needed, and the approximate setup time.   Magnetic Field -- EME Set -- Solenoids   Force Between Current-Carrying Wires Lecture Notes and Tutorials Magnetism These notes from PhysicsLAB by Catherine H. Colwell contain detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Magnetism The Magnetic Force These notes from Frank Wolfs at the University of Rochester contain calculus-level, detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   The Magnetic Force Simulations Physics Simulation Library Each simulation includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs. The following simulations are included: Magnetic Field from a Current Loop, Magnetic Field from a Long Straight Wire, and Magnetic Field from a Solenoid.   Physics Simulation Library Problem Solving Forces Between Electric Currents This site from the Science Education Centre contains one set of 10 interactive problems with immediate solution feedback.   Forces Between Electric Currents See also...
